H6: investigation results - the revision reported may have been the result of polyethylene wear and loosening as stated in the legal documentation and operative notes.The loosening may have been the result of an insufficient bond between the implants and the bones.The extent and root cause of the reported polyethylene wear cannot be determined as the devices were not available for evaluation, and radiographs and photographs were not provided.
